Below, please find information relating to our help with Operation Emergency Bucket. We are in the process of gathering the items below. We will accept cash or items. They can be brought to the church office during office hours (Tuesday-Thursday 8:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M.) or dropped off in the narthex after church. Please check back as items may be removed from the list or additional items may need to be added.
In advance, THANK YOU for your help and support with this cause. God Bless!
Friends:
The Commission on Global Church of the New York Conference has asked that each church of the conference bring an "Emergency Clean-up Bucket" to the annual meeting at Silver Bay as described below as part of our united global ministry. There will be a "Blessing of the Buckets" and then they will be shipped off accordingly.
Emergency Clean-up Buckets
These supplies enable people to begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up after a flood, hurricane, tornado, or other disaster here in the United States.
To assemble an Emergency Clean-up Bucket you will need:
- One five-gallon bucket with resalable lid
- Five scouring pads
- Seven sponges, assorted sizes
- One scrub brush
- Eighteen cleaning towels (reusable, like Easy Wipes®)
- One 50-78 oz. box dry laundry detergent
- One 12 oz. bottle of liquid concentrated household cleaner (like Lysol®)
- One 25 oz. bottle liquid disinfectant dish soap (like Dawn®)
- Fifty clothespins
- Clothesline, two 50 ft. or one 100 ft.
- Five dust masks
- Two pairs latex gloves (like Playtex®)
- One pair work gloves
- 24-bag roll of heavy-duty trash bags (33-45 gallon)
- One 6-14 oz. bottle of insect repellent (drops or lotion, not aerosol)
Please purchase all liquids in plastic bottles. Be sure to send only new, unopened materials. Put all items in the plastic bucket, making sure they are packed securely to avoid damage during shipment, and seal lid with packing tape. Place each Bucket in a separate box.
Note: Because of the volatility of the contents, Emergency Clean-up Kits are not shipped internationally.
Clean-up Bucket value: $50
Processing/Shipping Cost: $3 per Bucket
